December was the second best month for the blog behind the awesome November. But, unlike November, December was a lot more consistent in viewing per day.
Top five viewed posts:
Clearly, you all love the blog’s ghost posts. What about referrers?
The historic month is over. November out did all of this year. It accounted for one third of the blog’s views for all time. So yeah, this blog had a nice explosion during this month. However, that explosion happened in the second week of the month. After that, viewing has been a joke. So much that I anticipate a huge setback on monthly views. Still, let’s talk about how November went.
For most viewed posts, here’s what you’ve been looking at. By the way, I normally look at the top five, but, for this great month, we’ll look at top ten:

Another month is over. October saw a significant setback. Indeed, DALANEL took a step back and this is the worst month since June of this year. Still, the blog’s moving along and I feel like November will be better.
Anyway, let’s do what we did last month. First, countries:
Interesting. Australia was second last month. Other than that, these five are the same five from last month. What about referrers?
Interesting list here. Search engines take the big bulk as usual. However, Tumblr continues to dominate the social media area. I’m getting love from WordPress as well. So, while the blog’s viewing is down, it’s popularity seems to be rising in the WordPress ranks. Cool.
As I said in my review of August, I would keep track of each month going forward. September has ended and now is the time to look back at the site’s performance. To start us off, overall views were barely more than August so it was a good month. Not like I had less views. I had less visitors than August though. Yeah. Less people; more traffic. To be clear, visitor would be one person. This one person can click on several things. July is still number one so that’s my goal.
All stats terminology and numbers are from WordPress.
Let me be clear here: DALANEL viewing, compared to successful blogs, is terrible. DALANEL has a long way to go.
September did set a new record for views in a day as well as new followers in a day as well and they were both on the same day. So, while not much has happened in terms of viewing, people are liking this blog. My streak of at least one follower per week lives on since March 2013 so that’s great.
So, let’s break down the viewing. First, by countries (top five):
So I get around although I would guess that perhaps 80% of the views were from USA. Next, top referrers (top five):
Okay, now a few notes. Tumblr has become the number on social media referrer for DALANEL even after getting my first link in August. Impressive. Facebook, my largest following, is fading fast. Where in the love, man!? Most of my Facebook following is family and friends vs online acquaintances on other sites. Anyway, I’m going to break down the search engine:
